Mandoline Vegetable Slicer, Mandolin Slicer V Blade Cutter, Julienne and Food Grater. Great for Onions, Potatoes and Tomatoes. Includes 6 Inserts, and Cut Proof Gloves. Stainless Steel

I bought this just prior to preparing a meal for a group of eight. I needed to slice onions for the large batch of French Onion Soup. I needed to cut up apples for an Apple Matchstick Slaw. Then, of course, cucumbers, carrots, and tomatoes needed to be chopped up for the salads. I got through those jobs quickly an easily. The onion slices were uniform in thickness and led to high quality soup. Not to mention many fewer tears than when slicing by hand. Slicing those apples to match sticks by hand would have been next to impossible. All of the slicing for the salads would have taken so much more time with a unit like this.The unit has a quality feel to it and the blades are very sharp. As other reviews mentioned, one must be careful, else it would be possible to slice off a finger tip.As other reviews mentioned, when finished slicing there is a bit left over that is either wasted or requires chopping by hand.On the wish list would be an attachment for larger julienne slicing. If the ones included, the small size is great for shredding and the larger worked great for match stick sized pieces. So, as is, one could not make potato french fries without using one of the slicers and running them through twice.It seems it's hard to find one of these that does everything. I rated this one high because it is a high quality build at a reasonable price and does everything the advertisement stated it would do.

A good, sturdy mandolin. I found it quite easy to disassemble and put together for the cutting options I required. The blade is very sharp and mostly has cut through fairly well, however I did find that cutting sweet potato was a little bit tricky as it kept on stopping part way through, which was quite awkward to try and fix. I think it was because it was a large sweet potato, so next time I will cut in half lengthwise to provide a smaller cutting size in the unit. Overall I'm very happy and found this to be a great timesaver.

Quality superb. Excellent, sturdy and sharp! Safety gloves for the more anxious… a greatly appreciated present!

When I was looking for a slicer there were so many on the market it was easy to get confused. In the end I chose this model, mainly because of the high proportion of positive reviews/ratings. I have used it on numerous occasions with a variety of the blades and have never had a problem. The extendable legs are a real advantage as they save you having to try to hold the device in one hand whilst slicing with the other, as you do with some models. It is also very easy to clean and the handy little brush that is provided makes it a lot safer when cleaning around the blades. Some reviews comment on its size but I find the extra length an advantage, especially when slicing something courgettes, carrots etc lengthways. There is even a blade guard that can be put on when not in use.All in all a great bit of kit a a reasonable price.

i was looking for a Mandoline to replace one i had. I really wanted one with a 1.5mm Julienne blade but not manufacturers give sizes. When i saw this mandoline had a 1.6mm grater i decided that would be good.As soon as i received the Mandolin i could not wait to try it, the Mandolne is well built and sturdy. However i am really disappointed with the 1.6mm grater to me it grates much larger than my previous 1.5mm.It is a shame because had this grater been finer i would have had no hesitation but to give it full marks.

Very pleased, simple to use, gloves provided, slices potato’s down to 2mm effortlessly. Various attachments to change the thickness of what you want to slice.

Super efficient slicing (bought so I could make home made crisps & it slices potatoes in seconds). Could have used a 1mm slicer though instead of the min 1.5mm if I'm super critical. Easy to clean though and the folding stand at least means it doesn't take up too much cupboard space. Holder for the different slice sizes etc could be a little wider to accommodate the grater boards (which is slightly bigger than the slicer's) which would allow me to store the grater and leave the slicer on the mandoline instead so each time I put away I have to take the slicer out, store it with the others and put the grater one back in.

Update - 8th AugustI was contacted by Cindy from customer services who informed me that my julienne attachment must be faulty and offered to send me a new blade, the new blade arrived today with the rest of the Madolin, I tried the julienne cutter and it works so I did recieve a faulty julienne cutter.The Mandolin still frightens me but is a great addition to my kitchen, I used all attachments this weekend making salads for a BBQ and they went down a storm.Customer services is fantastic, not many sellers would contact you to admit there may be an issue with their product and then offer to replace the balde and send a new complete Mandolin.Thank you Cindy, you are a credit to your store!Good mandolin, I've wanted one for years and decided to take the plunge on this model.I've noticed that whilst using the julienne attachments they do not cut right the way through the carrots, you have to finish the cut with a knife, nit difficult but self defeating to me!The blafe is razor sharp and scares the sh1t out of me when using it, so much so I purchased anti cut gloves with the mandolin.The blade catches and you have to use more force to push the item your slicing, this is what scares me because if you forget and push too hard you may end up including your fingertips in your salad!Try it yourself but be careful!
